3. Somebody claimed that boarding fails sometimes and that multiple BPs increase the chance of success. I don't seem to recall a BP ever failing against a ship with no DS.
If the enemy does not have a security station, unless you hit a bug, you will always capture them if you board. Security stations are more powerful than boarding parties. You need more marines than the enemy has defensive lasers to capture a ship. So at any given level of tech, a Security Station is worth 1.5 boarding parties.
I don't think that boarding parties should be used to capture planets or troops to capture ships. For one thing, how are 20 marines going to subdue even 1-million poeple? Presumably the police requires for a population that size could handle 20 marines.
In the other direction, how do you propose fitting hover tanks down the corridors of an enemy ship? Nah, leave it as is.
